You'll need to create namespaces. For example:

namespace private {
   separator = /
   inbox = yes
   prefix =
   location = maildir:~/Maildir
}

namespace private {
   separator = /
   prefix = mbox/
   location = mbox:~/mail
}

~/mail mboxes then show up under mbox/ folder while the rest is maildir.
